1) General Interest

New SIG: FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) - THIS Thursday!
4th Thursday of each month   1-3pm at the Resource Center
1st meeting on February 28th   Led by Stew Bottorf

this meeting is a welcome/planning meeting. We'll explain the FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) concept where we can legally download high quality free software. I'll demo my computer showing off PCLinux2007 (in place of Windows), Open Office (a very good alternative to Microsoft Office) and show how to download and burn ISO installation CD/DVD. I have a nice $40 book entitled "Live Linux CD's" to award as a door prize.   Stew
